The SNP I believe are now paying off these Left Nationalists who leapt upon the Yes band-wagon and campaigned for Salmond's vision of a independent Scotland.

No doubt those who would never get elected on their Trotskyist/Left-wing platform can now depend upon loyal SNP support.
Quote:
prominent "Yes" campaigners who are not in the SNP would be able to stand for election under the party's overall banner. In order to do so, they would need to be on an approved list and be adopted by a local constituency.Party sources have told BBC Scotland that this would harness "the strength and diversity" of the wider "Yes" campaign.
Certainly another nail in the coffin of Scottish Labour if they do lose the lefties to the SNP.
